If it is damaged, the appliance must not be used. To avoid any danger, the cord should only be replaced by the manufacturer, their after-sales service provider or a qualified professional approved by the manufacturer. The cord is type H05 VV-F 3x1mm2 These appliances conform to directives 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC, DEEE 2002/96/CE, RoHs 2002/95/CE, CE 1935/2004. [. . . ] The control box must be properly inserted into its runners. NB: the control box is fitted with a safety cut-out: it will not operate unless fitted correctly to the appliance. * Put your appliance in your chosen position (level surface). * Fill fryer with specialist deep-frying oil, making sure that the level falls between the (lower) MIN and (higher) MAX markers inside the bowl. Handle Assembly Friteuses:Friteuse 5 langues 13/12/07 17:30 Page 15 To prevent the element from overheating, it is imperative that the oil level reaches the MIN marker and covers the element. * Remove mains cord from its storage area, unwind it fully and plug it in. The light goes off when the oil/fat reaches the required temperature. 4 Use * Place the food (already wiped) in the basket. * Preferably do not fill basket more than 2/3 full. This means that all the food can be properly immersed in the oil and it also prevents splattering. Maximum recommended capacity: 1kg (Super PRO® model) 700g (Compact PRO® model) * Lower basket into oil slowly to allow any water present in the food to evaporate. * Remove basket completely and turn food out onto serving dish. NB: if you use a solid fat instead of oil, our recommendations are as follows. When the fat is used for the first time, first melt it in a saucepan and then pour the melted fat into the fryer. This is necessary because if fat is solid it will not be in direct contact with the thermostat. This in turn creates a risk of the element overheating and the thermal cut-out triggering. For subsequent uses, make a few holes in the re-solidified fat (down as far as the element), set the thermostat to 150°C, leave it to heat up (1 minute only), then leave it for a few minutes to cool down. 3 Thermal Cut-Out Your LAGRANGE fryer is fitted with a thermal cut-out which prevents any abnormal rise in temperature. When the thermal cut-out is triggered, the fryer will no longer operate. To use your fryer again, you must wait until the element cools down then re-set the thermal fuse by pushing the RESET button. This is situated at the rear of the control box, in the area provided for stowing the cord under the upper surface. RESET Tips for use _____________________________________________________________________ RESET button This appliance is designed mainly for cooking potatoes but you can also use it to cook fritters, fish, etc. [. . . ] Replace the control box correctly on its runners. Then put the basket in the bowl with the handle folded back. Put the lid on and stow the cord in its housing. Cooking times and temperatures are intended only as guidelines: they can vary as a function of food quality, food size – and personal taste. [. . . ]
